Elder Russell M. Nelson said:
"The covenant God made with Abraham and later reaffirmed with Isaac and Jacob is of transcendent significance. It contained several promises, including:How blessed we are to live in these days. How blessed we are that God remembers His covenant with His people.
- Jesus the Christ would be born through Abraham’s lineage.
- Abraham’s posterity would be numerous, entitled to an eternal increase, and also entitled to bear the priesthood.
- Abraham would become a father of many nations.
- Certain lands would be inherited by his posterity.
- All nations of the earth would be blessed by his seed.
"Some of these promises have been fulfilled; others are still pending" ("Covenants").
- And that covenant would be everlasting—even through 'a thousand generations.'
